True. Imo she was the one carrying the show most of the time.... one of Samantha's best lines will always stick with me, "I love you, but I love me more".
When I was a teenager I found something irritating about Miranda, I found her too harsh although I was more like her than the others even then. Now she's my fav, she is clever, she is the one who didn't bend over just to please men (in a way even Samantha was like that) the one who went after what she wanted, may that be her job or a man, and took no judgement from anybody. And she was caring too, not in an over the top way but in a "I'm there for you" certainty. I LOVE her. And I'll always relate to the time she told the other girls something on the line of: we are 4 successful women, do we have to only talk about men?
I feelthe exactly the same about the character Miranda. I think her standing up for herself is not always pleasing to watch. It almost made me cringe sometimes how strong and independant she was, almost too masculine. But now as adult I see her from an experienced point of view. Her sucess shouldn't be hidden just to lure any guy into her life. A happy and independant individual is sexy as hell, compared to a clingy insecure conformed people pleasere.
a lot of people can relate to Miranda. She aint the coolest among the three. But she is that great dosage of reality that makes the show more appealing and timeless.
I met SJP in the smoking lounge at an airport once. She saw me notice her and smiled and said, "Yes, it's me." So we just chatted a bit--mostly abut how hard it was getting to smoke anywhere anymore and then she told me she liked my top and asked where I got it. I told her, "Thrift store!" She replied, "I love thrift stores! You can find the best stuff!" Some time after that I was looking at a celebrity magazine and it had picture of various stars in fancy dresses at a red-carpet event, and for each one they identified the designer--Chanel, Oscar de la Renta, Gucci, etc. Then for SJP, the caption says "SJP dazzles in a vintage gown." I know where she got it! lol
Uggg... I wouldve ran from you, sounds like u followed her around until she finally had to notice you🤣🤣🤷♀️...o yes,I had to edit, I'm being funny, and am definitely not going back and forth with u on this comment
Yes, toxic. However, they deserve each other. I loved Aiden, but Carrie didn’t deserve him after what she did to him. She might be the shows antagonist, but she is not always a good person.
Sherly Dewi Honestly! Samantha was true to herself through and through, despite people considering her gust for casual sex a character flaw. She was real and that was appreciated while watching!
I think a lot of us were way more into the friendships. Or a lot of people i know :0) I only had guy friends for the longest time, probably because girls at my school were the meanest little thugs... but during University and especially right after, i realized how important it is to have women friends. I like that that's how the show ended, even though some people say it all ended in marriage, it ended with four ladies who were always there for each other.
I’ll take Natasha’s “vanilla” personality (is that code for honest and non-narcissistic?) over Carrie’s any day. I think the show made it quite clear that Natasha was a good person who didn’t deserve the shabby way Big treated her.
Natasha was classy. The cheek of Carrie to sleep with Big in his & Natasha's marital bed & everywhere else. She tried to bully Charlotte into backing down when she found out about the affair and called her the other woman. The scene in the restaurant where Carrie sits at Natasha's table and drinks her water so she can apologise to ease her conscience is brilliant as Natasha responds by taking the floor from under her.
@@bipbippadotta5953 I still remember the first time my husband saw the scene with Big and Carrie in his apartment -- his jaw dropped, and he said, "Are they doing it in *his wife's bed!?!* That is the lowest of the low!"
She was my favorite as well. She seemed to be the only one that was a true girls girlfriend. When needed she could always be defended on. Each of the others on occasion was more self involved than the friendship. Funny thing is on a superficial level one might think she was like the others but when push came to shove she had your back. Also she was honest, you could depend on her honesty. When Miranda needed a break and some me time after the baby Samantha was by far the best
I was obsessed with that show and watched every season. But after watching a second time I realized I could not stand Carrie. She was so spoiled everything revolved around her. She didn’t like Aiden helping her with her apartment. She didn’t like Aiden’s country house . Aidan was way better than her . She couldn’t stay away from Bigs church. She got mad when Charlotte didn’t offer her money for a loan. She treated Aiden like shit twice . She writes a sex column but got freaked out kissing a girl. And dating a bisexual. And don’t even get me started on the movies. My favorite characters were Charlotte and Samantha.Both of them had kind hearts Carrie did not and neither did Miranda. This show did not age well . Oh one more thing her hair looked way better curly than straight .
I you agree with you in all of this except for the Charlotte not offering her money part.. yes I understand nobody is obligated to pay anybody’s bills no matter how rich they are but this her friend.... she is stuck in a situation where if she doesn’t come up with a certain amount of money she will be homeless and Charlotte (who’s worth millions) didn’t care to offer her the help when she most needed it... I don’t know I guess that’s just me if I see a friend in need im gonna step in especially if i have enough money to pay that plus 100 times the amount... I mean come on... even Miranda the hard-ass Offered her savings.. Of course she did end up lending her the money but still... id feel a little weird about accepting it... Don’t get me wrong though... i couldnt stand Carrie at all she was very self-centered... But Charlotte was also very annoying
That’s so funny I had the same reaction rewatching the show as I got older and looked at Carrie very differently especially with Aiden and when she cheated with big when he was married. And the movies itself when he stood her up at the alter and the second she was bored and wanted her old life with being married. I was just irritated 😤
I think the whole marriage thing was another example of Carrie being an idiot. She knee jerked and didn’t take Big’s feelings into consideration. He was scared, and had a little blip, but I’m sure if she had given him a chance to talk, they would have gotten married that day. Of course, then there wouldn’t be a movie left!
@@lisaspikes4291 you know it's also confusing for people watching all over world. It's no such thing where I'm from to run away from your own wedding day. lol "Scared" people will think you're nuts. You go because you want to marry. Why wait until last minute then run away? Such waste and I would take my present away as a guest. XD
@@lisaspikes4291 She ran after him like a sad abandoned dog.... then threw a fit throwing burgers at him... what did she expect? I was almost screaming "what are you idiot?!"
I don’t understand how people wanted Carrie and Big together. He was such a jerk to her! Always thinking of himself with or without her while she moved mountains just to be with him. The only time he really pursued her was when she was in another relationship. And don’t even get me started on the movie 😤 it was all ME ME ME from the start “i cant do this cause IVE been married twice” ... im sorry girls but if you all can relate to this relationship i feel sorry for you.
Miranda Gonzalez I feel totally the opposite. Big may not have been perfect all the time. But Carrie was always pushing him, and demanding things from him. She never let the relationship unfold naturally. Always jumping ahead.
Lisa Spikes Oh don’t get me wrong. Carrie was my least favorite character. Too self centered in my opinion. But Big pretty much told her that he wasn’t ready for a committed relationship and then he goes and marries Natasha... uhh i just feel like Carrie was a dumbass the whole show thats why I didn’t like her. And it makes me cringe to think that people actually see that as a good love story.
I never liked Carrie the narcissist. Could never figure out why they dumbed Charlotte down she deserved better. While I liked Miranda my favorite was Sam. She should have had her own show.
John James Preston was a perfectly respectable and also suitable name for Mr Big, his mother had that air of "old money" In my opinion they chose the best name possible for him
I am so glad that Bushnell and Star agree that this was not the ending meant to be. I was frustrated by the fact that even one woman out there could take this as motivation to stick with a guy who isn't giving them what they want. SATC is a fantastic show to watch, but it's basically "what not to do". We've all been in some sort of situation that is relatable through the show and it's therapeutic/fun to see the situations and bad behaviors from the outside and laugh back at it. But there are many "endings" that just are not relatable to real life and don't fit character behaviors. The movies both really turned everything around in ways I did not feel was on brand for each relationship.
ABSOULTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SHOW! After watching it a couple of times through I think you do like Carrie's character alot less. Despite being in her 30s she resembled a 15 yr old. She was very childish in her understanding of relationships. Still a great show though and still love all the characters! SAMANTHA WAS FREAKEN AWESOME! X
SJP’s character (Carrie) was annoying a lot of times especially when she was dating Berger. The episode when she’s trying to date him her voice sounds too high pitch. More than usual. Still a great show though.
I’m certainly not watching anything that doesn’t have Kim Cattrall in it - Samantha Jones made the show. It’d be like watching The Simpsons without Homer or Marge, Gossip Girl without Blair Waldorf, Charmed without Shaneen Doherty, Buffy without Eliza Dushku, Dark Angel without Jessica Alba, Game of Thrones without Emilia Clarke - these actors made their characters what they were x
Charlotte could be replaced IMHO but not Samantha. As a character. Personally I adore Kristen Davis, love her in the Christmas movie with the angel; Three Days
It would depend on how it was portrayed. The Samatha character was a sad caricature by the last movie. You can only play the sex kitten so long in life before it gets sad and tired
I loved this show and still do. Watched every episode....countless times! Shame the drama behind it however...it didn’t effect their work, bc I could not tell.
Your right but who knows?? BUT bitchy move to publically Tweet to Kim Cattrall her condolences. Has she heard of a phone?? A death in the family is a private matter. SJP appears to have done this for publicity. No one can be that deliberately shallow surely?
Mercy Odhiambo That's bullshit. The other cast and crew members have made it very clear that SJP is a class act. Kim Cattrell was the one who lied and said they were friends but then comes out and says they were all mean to her. Also, the blond guy who played Samantha's boyfriend in the last season took SJP's side. Kim Cattrell was just upset because she thought she should be the star.
Cosmos and NYC were the 5th & 6th stars of this very Iconic, Innovative, and Groundbreaking series...In a half-hour you got a taste of so much that you could barely control yourself waiting for next Sunday...Come on fashion (Bags, Shoes, Belts, Hats, Jewelry, Vogue.,) like no one could or dare to on TV...There was EPIC relationship advice, as well as EPIC failure when it came down to relationship as well... The series started so many different cultural movements that still hold up now in 2020...SJP and Kim C. having a bit of a personality clash in real life would make so much sense. Think about Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen while on the same team and having a job to do, they knew their individual roles as well as their roles to the team...These two were also rumored to not be the best friends outside of their work/ job but like SJP and Kim, you couldn't tell when they were on...SJP got involved in a great deal of behind-the-$cenes stuff, like EP (Executive Producer) and it was probably something Kim wanted to do as well.. That old additive of a 'Closed Mouth Don't Get Fed!!!' might have more to do with their beef...If there is something you want to pursue or do and You don't, You can't be upset with someone doing it, when You had Your shot....Kim was already a "Hollywood It Girl" and had some success with a few parts that didn't catch on right away but would end being a big deal later on... Mannequin, Porky's and even Deep Space Six...SJP, a bully, I truly don't picture that and what came to light is how all of the stars of this series had their reservations, as they should have with a show that pushed the envelope.... Remember MTM (Mary Tyler Moore) RIP was the 1st woman to wear pants on TV...Dianah Carroll's (RIP) was one of 1st Black Women to be a Lead on a series...SJP, Kim & The Girls (I like when the male characters referred to them as "The Girls") need to realize they were and will always be viewed as TV/Cable Royalty, collectively and individually...I remember when Sex and The City first aired many considered it a Younger & more Hip version of The "Legendary" Golden Girls (Hey Betty White and RIP to "The Girls" Estelle, Rue, Bea) and that felt like such a slap in the face to both shows and yet both shows still stand the test of time...
#5 - if you watch this episode, you'll see Sarah Michelle Gellar mouth "Warren Beatty" when she's talking to Carrie in the bar, and they dub "Matthew McConaughey" over it.
It's cringe worthy, a lot of the scenes and acting are embarrassing and don't stand the test of time. The racism, the classism. Anti-muslim in the second movie. The utter lack of diversity. It's dated.
@@ItsaMeLeah Same here. A lot of it is just cringe-worthy, the dialogue, the horrible lack of diversity, the racist and classist jokes and transphobic jokes. It just doesn't hold up. Their characters also seem so self-absorbed. It didn't hold up for me, either.
Maybe, SJP treated her that way, because she knew that a lot of viewers loved Samantha's character much more, than her character and Samantha drew all the attention and viewers, men and women, to the show.
Silva & Cleo same thing with Amalita, the fun, lively woman who offered to pay for Carrie’s shoes when her card got declined at Dolce and Gabbana in earlier seasons (1 or 2 maybe?). SPJ didn’t like how she was the star of the show in every scene so Amalitas character never made a return after that episode despite people loving her
Personally, I am a BIG FAN of "Sex and the City," and I enjoyed the show for the best adventures and sometimes the misadventures of the characters and the stories that made it unique. Furthermore, it has been a real pleasure in having watched the reruns of that show whenever I need to explore it. So I give thanks to Candace Bushnell and Darren Star for having created one of the most popular TV shows of all time.
i heard about that too, it seems like SJP and Kim were pointing fingers at each other so i guess we don't who is the real "bully" but i do agree that kim's character samantha was the best one in the show!!
@Louise McMillin Parker has more clout in the industry than Cattrall. If another movie were going to get made, of course they're going to side with Parker. Parker eventually became a producer of the show and it wouldn't surprise me if she had a hand in producing the movies or any future shows.
Natasha never got in the way of Big and Carrie's romance. Big left Carrie because he couldn't be with her anymore and met Natasha in Paris and married after three months of dating.
I knew all of these facts. I think all of us big fans did lol. Mikhail is a gem I think Lisa could have definitely played Carrie just fine but Sarah was perfect.
Glad everything worked out the way it did. Wouldn't have had it any other way. That's why years later we're still talking about it. No matter who you loved or who you hated...you tuned in...you watched you absorbed it. : )
Yes! And I know that Samantha wears a pink dress two times aswell. I don't remember both scenes byt I know one, when she goes dancing with "We-William".
I remember only 1 episode with the newsprint dress. I do remember it again in the movie (the second one I think). Maybe they ment no repeats during the series, not including the movies.
She also wears the rhinestone costume jewelry necklace a few times (the necklace she wore for the dinner party at his house when mikail announced that Carrie would go to Paris with him
I always thought she had a special connection with that baby. As soon as he saw her he started smiling. I just thought they had practiced the scene a lot. He was a cute baby!!!!
How many women fell in love with Mr. Big?? So happy none of the other “stars” were picked! Even tho Mr. Big was hot, I felt Aiden was the best bf ever. And John Corbett is really hot!
Kristen Davis' father is a professor at my alma mater, The University of South Carolina. Kristen was born in Colorado, but was raised and lived almost her entire life in Columbia, SC
@The Healing WomanThe normal way of including the name of your child's father is to hyphenate the surname (i.e. Brady-Hobbes). But in light of Samantha's boyfriend being named "Jerry Jerrod" -- it appears the writers had a weird thing for double names. As well as a thing for using last names as first names (i.e. Jerry's stage name being "Smith").
I always thought that Adrian(ment Aiden) was to good for Carrie plus cos he wanted a family but Carrie was to good for Mr Big. They weren't 100% right for each other and in the movies it seemed Carrie had to settle a lot within the relationship. It's kinda hard for me to see Carrie settling down but it was a good move that they didn't make her have a child on the show. Carrie may have liked children but it didn't seem like it was in the cards for the character.
It was always clear from the start her A were never going to work. It’s not one is better than the other they just wanted different things. Just not right for each other was always the storyline
Outfits weren't repeated but accessories were. Carrie's fur coat, her blue crochet shawl, and a brown hat she has. A necklace worn by Samantha also appears on Carrie's boss at Vogue
We saw some of their families. Miranda’s sister, Charlotte’s brother and Steve’s mother lol. Also Samantha mentions having a nephew and Carrie mentions her dad abandoned the family, etc.
Samantha and Miranda never had a huge fight (confrontation) compare to other characters, that's what I remember after watching sex and the city several times and until now I'm still watching it every weekend
I don’t know why people say Carrie and mr big weren’t meant to end up together. He’s the love of her life. She wouldn’t marry anyone else and every guy she dated she compares to him. He keeps coming back to her line a drug. It isn’t the healthiest relationships I’ll admit, but not paring them together (even on and off) seems like a bad idea for the show
Anybody else find the missing parents odd, especially after shows like Seinfeld where they were integral? Carrie mentions a father who left her and her mother, and that's it. We never see or hear anything about her Mum. We hear Charlotte once mention her father and 'his friend Paul', and again nothing about her parents is mentioned again. Ditto Samantha. I know some of my friends don't see their folks everyday, or they could be deceased, but not even mentioning them? I know the show is about friendship but I found this peculiar...
Love this show. Samantha Jones WAS the best character. As a guy, who I thought was the sexiest.... Miranda! That woman drives me bananas! Love her. Always thought Mr. Big would be perfect as Bruce Wayne.... ( why am I watching a SITC rabbit hole? )
Charlotte's brother was on one episode! Alot of videos that have trivia regarding SATC keep forgetting this fact. An entire episode was based on him and Samantha daring. Kind of hard to miss!
OMG I love Lisa Edelstein. She would have maybe been a better Carrie IMO. OMG I did not realise that Alexander was played by the DANCER Mikhail Baryshnikov!!! I remember when Samantha got sick and talked about her mother being destroyed by her father and that THAT was the reason Sam would never get married and have kids. I thought it was brilliant.
I always wondered about the characters family. We only got to see Charlotte's brother and a little bit of Miranda family. I wish they showed more so we could of had a better understanding of the characters background.
0:57 I do not mean this to be rude but it is true. The costume designer picked every outfit that Carry wore from a five dollar clearance box. Her outfits were so questionable and it was so confusing and had no sense of style at all. She was the least stylish character of every person on the cast including Miranda. It amazes me that her supposed fashion is noted because it seems that they pushed something I was nonexistent when it came to her sense of style
I freakin' love that show! All the characters fit perfectly. I hate it about anyone being mean to anybody. Sam (Kim) Do Not be worried about age especially when you're still fabulous honey hush. You're still a fully alive vivacious woman, with normal womanly feelings (uhum) if you know what I mean lol. People make such a big deal out of age no matter how a woman looks and feels it's rediculous. If it ain't broke don't fix it and I watch this show about every six months and I've been watching it since 2008. It Never gets Old! 😘
Who is your favorite character from Sex and the City?

True. Imo she was the one carrying the show most of the time.... one of Samantha's best lines will always stick with me, "I love you, but I love me more".

Yes, toxic. However, they deserve each other. I loved Aiden, but Carrie didn’t deserve him after what she did to him. She might be the shows antagonist, but she is not always a good person.

She’s always looked her age tbh but nothing wrong with that she looked amazing

Deffo, when you watch it again, Carrie is selfish and self centred. Altogether, not a nice person.
They need to do a spin off show called Samantha. Which would explore her life as a older woman with some comedy thrown in with serious points.
I'd watch that in a heartbeat. If they could get the original SATC writers, it would be comedy gold.
Cattrall already has a show, it's called Sensitive Skin, and it has terrible writers. Really a waste of Cattrall's talent.
Mendora Ogbogbo that would be so good!! Do you have any connections?!
She wants no part of the series any longer. She was the one who refused SATC 3
Honestly, I don't know why they haven't done that yet!
The thought of Alec Baldwin as Mr.Big is just... no. 🤣
Condescending human being....SJP has no humility.
I hated how Barishnikov's character was portrayed as this cold egotistical man, but she returned to the man who left her at the altar

And it makes me cringe to think that people actually see that as a good love story.
She was too clingy to him.
The character of Carrie hasn't aged well
I'm sorry but I think she was the selfish one.
Carrie was way worse than Bigg
Kim was having second thoughts but little did she know she would turn out to be a fan favorite💖
I never liked Carrie the narcissist. Could never figure out why they dumbed Charlotte down she deserved better. While I liked Miranda my favorite was Sam. She should have had her own show.
If there was going to be a spinoff, it should have been a show starring Cattrall with the same writers, it would have been a huge hit.
I watched and continued to watch because of Kim. She was hilarious and comfortable with herself. Very likable.
John James Preston was a perfectly respectable and also suitable name for Mr Big, his mother had that air of "old money"
In my opinion they chose the best name possible for him
How tf do you sign up for a show called sex and the city as the main character and feel weird about sex toys and vulgarity? I’m glad she did but geeez
TashaFierce they wanted her, they knew her stipulations.
Well I’m glad it was her anyway
TashaFierce true
Yeah but had she turned it down it could have been better
it was the 90s guys
Such an iconic show. One of a kind.
I really liked Natasha. She was beautiful, smart and stylish. Big didn’t deserve her
Aik B BIG didn’t deserve anyone
But
Himself
Aik B agree. I felt bad for her. Carry and big were asses
Was she Russian? Cause Natasha is a Russian name.
I was just about to say there’s nothing “vanilla” about Natasha! She’s a strong and beautiful woman with an amazing career.
Neither did Tom Brady.
Omg I didn’t know that was her son. How cute!!
I am so glad that Bushnell and Star agree that this was not the ending meant to be. I was frustrated by the fact that even one woman out there could take this as motivation to stick with a guy who isn't giving them what they want. SATC is a fantastic show to watch, but it's basically "what not to do". We've all been in some sort of situation that is relatable through the show and it's therapeutic/fun to see the situations and bad behaviors from the outside and laugh back at it. But there are many "endings" that just are not relatable to real life and don't fit character behaviors. The movies both really turned everything around in ways I did not feel was on brand for each relationship.
I agree. I've always felt that at least one (if not all) of the characters should have stepped into the future beyond the series as a single woman.
Loved this show and still watch to this day!
ABSOULTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SHOW! After watching it a couple of times through I think you do like Carrie's character alot less. Despite being in her 30s she resembled a 15 yr old. She was very childish in her understanding of relationships. Still a great show though and still love all the characters!
SAMANTHA WAS FREAKEN AWESOME! X
I am sooooo happy that Chris got the role instead of the other guys.
SJP’s character (Carrie) was annoying a lot of times especially when she was dating Berger. The episode when she’s trying to date him her voice sounds too high pitch. More than usual. Still a great show though.
She is the least favourite character
bubblesarah everyone loves carrie u r the only stupid who donts
@@julianhenao09 Read the comments, clearly you're alone.
h d read my finger .I. You stupid
blablablabla...she was incredible.
Charlotte had a brother that Samantha slept with.
😱
Yes, named weslie
@@eva_pe wesley and his wife leslie
Your spelling looks way more correct than mine though 🤭
Wesley and Nesley, oh honey I don’t think so
I’m certainly not watching anything that doesn’t have Kim Cattrall in it - Samantha Jones made the show. It’d be like watching The Simpsons without Homer or Marge, Gossip Girl without Blair Waldorf, Charmed without Shaneen Doherty, Buffy without Eliza Dushku, Dark Angel without Jessica Alba, Game of Thrones without Emilia Clarke - these actors made their characters what they were x
I cannot imagine the show without her. I can imagine Carrie to be someone else also Charlotte, but Samantha no way and after her comes Miranda
Charlotte could be replaced IMHO but not Samantha. As a character. Personally I adore Kristen Davis, love her in the Christmas movie with the angel; Three Days
It would depend on how it was portrayed. The Samatha character was a sad caricature by the last movie. You can only play the sex kitten so long in life before it gets sad and tired
I agree
Like the Big Bang Theory without Sheldon
Samantha is a legendary character !!!! Without Kim that show would be never have been so popular
I loved this show and still do.
Watched every episode....countless times!
Shame the drama behind it however...it didn’t effect their work, bc I could not tell.
Well Kim had nothing to worry about, she absolutely ROCKED being a hot and stylish and super sexy woman in her 40s!
I absolutely loved this show but just cannot feel the same kniwing how mean she was to samantha.
Mercy Odhiambo But you dont know for sure what happened. Kim seems very bitter & jealous towards SJP if you ask me..
Mercy Odhiambo SJP is mean to everyone.
Your right but who knows?? BUT bitchy move to publically Tweet to Kim Cattrall her condolences. Has she heard of a phone?? A death in the family is a private matter. SJP appears to have done this for publicity. No one can be that deliberately shallow surely?
@@TheNetstaar i highly doubt that. I don't feel you can be warm to someone who caused so much toxicity in your life.
Mercy Odhiambo That's bullshit. The other cast and crew members have made it very clear that SJP is a class act. Kim Cattrell was the one who lied and said they were friends but then comes out and says they were all mean to her. Also, the blond guy who played Samantha's boyfriend in the last season took SJP's side. Kim Cattrell was just upset because she thought she should be the star.
Samantha Jones and Carrie's wardrobe were my favorite things on the show.
Cosmos and NYC were the 5th & 6th stars of this very Iconic, Innovative, and Groundbreaking series...In a half-hour you got a taste of so much that you could barely control yourself waiting for next Sunday...Come on fashion (Bags, Shoes, Belts, Hats, Jewelry, Vogue.,) like no one could or dare to on TV...There was EPIC relationship advice, as well as EPIC failure when it came down to relationship as well... The series started so many different cultural movements that still hold up now in 2020...SJP and Kim C. having a bit of a personality clash in real life would make so much sense. Think about Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen while on the same team and having a job to do, they knew their individual roles as well as their roles to the team...These two were also rumored to not be the best friends outside of their work/ job but like SJP and Kim, you couldn't tell when they were on...SJP got involved in a great deal of behind-the-$cenes stuff, like EP (Executive Producer) and it was probably something Kim wanted to do as well..
That old additive of a 'Closed Mouth Don't Get Fed!!!' might have more to do with their beef...If there is something you want to pursue or do and You don't, You can't be upset with someone doing it, when You had Your shot....Kim was already a "Hollywood It Girl" and had some success with a few parts that didn't catch on right away but would end being a big deal later on... Mannequin, Porky's and even Deep Space Six...SJP, a bully, I truly don't picture that and what came to light is how all of the stars of this series had their reservations, as they should have with a show that pushed the envelope.... Remember MTM (Mary Tyler Moore) RIP was the 1st woman to wear pants on TV...Dianah Carroll's (RIP) was one of 1st Black Women to be a Lead on a series...SJP, Kim & The Girls (I like when the male characters referred to them as "The Girls") need to realize they were and will always be viewed as TV/Cable Royalty, collectively and individually...I remember when Sex and The City first aired many considered it a Younger & more Hip version of The "Legendary" Golden Girls (Hey Betty White and RIP to "The Girls" Estelle, Rue, Bea) and that felt like such a slap in the face to both shows and yet both shows still stand the test of time...
I knew all of those but I’ll watch any video about SATC. 😁
AmyBEgirl,you look stunning 🌹 🌹🌷 🌷🌺🌹 🌹🥀🥀 🥀🌹🌹 🌷🌷 🌺
Kim did an amazing job! She totally deserved more!... Sam is A Goddess!!
#5 - if you watch this episode, you'll see Sarah Michelle Gellar mouth "Warren Beatty" when she's talking to Carrie in the bar, and they dub "Matthew McConaughey" over it.
I wish I could go back in time just so I could watch the series from day one all over again. 😭 -
It's all on Prime video!
It didn’t hold up for me when I went back. I wish I hadn’t rewatched it. The me of now is not the me of SATC era.
It's cringe worthy, a lot of the scenes and acting are embarrassing and don't stand the test of time. The racism, the classism. Anti-muslim in the second movie. The utter lack of diversity. It's dated.
@@ItsaMeLeah Same here. A lot of it is just cringe-worthy, the dialogue, the horrible lack of diversity, the racist and classist jokes and transphobic jokes. It just doesn't hold up. Their characters also seem so self-absorbed. It didn't hold up for me, either.
Streaming babe
Oh, I would have LOVED Lisa Edelstein as Carrie! And Hugh Laurie as Mr. Big? Awesome!
omg i didn’t know Aiden’s baby was her baby !
I do feel Carrie was an incredibly selfish character.
Totally. She was a selfish bitch and nothing else
Notice the baby got excited when he saw "Carrie". I figured something was up :)
She's even worse irl
The baby doesn't look that happy to see her, doesn't even seem to recognize her
What!? Just a minute. Can someone clear it up? "her baby"?
I am blown away that that was SJP’s baby!!!
It wasn't
So, Carrie's judgmental attitude towards Samantha being sexual is basically the real SJP
Maybe, SJP treated her that way, because she knew that a lot of viewers loved Samantha's character much more, than her character and Samantha drew all the attention and viewers, men and women, to the show.
Silva & Cleo same thing with Amalita, the fun, lively woman who offered to pay for Carrie’s shoes when her card got declined at Dolce and Gabbana in earlier seasons (1 or 2 maybe?). SPJ didn’t like how she was the star of the show in every scene so Amalitas character never made a return after that episode despite people loving her
Personally, I am a BIG FAN of "Sex and the City," and I enjoyed the show for the best adventures and sometimes the misadventures of the characters and the stories that made it unique. Furthermore, it has been a real pleasure in having watched the reruns of that show whenever I need to explore it. So I give thanks to Candace Bushnell and Darren Star for having created one of the most popular TV shows of all time.
Robert Polanco Candice wasn’t really that involved after the pilot. She sold the rights from the original book and then the network ran with it.
Nor was Darren after the first season.
@@johniii8147 - Well, I somewhat understand, and at least, they had their names on the screen credits anyway.
Robert Polanco That was part of the deal struck to get money
You guys missed out on the fact that SJP was a bully to Kim in real life. SJP tried to make the show all about her but Kim was the best!
i heard about that too, it seems like SJP and Kim were pointing fingers at each other so i guess we don't who is the real "bully" but i do agree that kim's character samantha was the best one in the show!!
That's a very incorrect accusation.
@Louise McMillin Parker has more clout in the industry than Cattrall. If another movie were going to get made, of course they're going to side with Parker. Parker eventually became a producer of the show and it wouldn't surprise me if she had a hand in producing the movies or any future shows.
"Have you ever paid attention to Natasha always wearing white" while they show her wearing pink... lol
I actually did notice Natasha always wearing white. I was shocked to see her in that pink
She was virginal and perfect in the eyes of Big and Carrie, hence the white. Once the relatinship was over she 'became' a real woman.
@@pepitaunderthesun4763 or maybe she just likes white???
Me too and it did anointed me additionally 🙄 i prefer black characters
Natasha never got in the way of Big and Carrie's romance. Big left Carrie because he couldn't be with her anymore and met Natasha in Paris and married after three months of dating.
I knew all of these facts. I think all of us big fans did lol.
Mikhail is a gem
I think Lisa could have definitely played Carrie just fine but Sarah was perfect.
There was an episode in with Charlotte's Brother Wesley appeared too.
ryzardt And Sam screws his brains out. Lol that didn’t go over well
Samantha Jones: iconic 😍
this show was literally EVERYTHING!!! the cat's pajamas.. 😜
The Dog's Tuxedo. 😁
@@Natalie-justNatalie hahaha right! great episode!
Glad everything worked out the way it did. Wouldn't have had it any other way. That's why years later we're still talking about it. No matter who you loved or who you hated...you tuned in...you watched you absorbed it. : )
Carrie wears the newsprint dress twice
Yes! And I know that Samantha wears a pink dress two times aswell. I don't remember both scenes byt I know one, when she goes dancing with "We-William".
Yep!! And Carrie’s floral robe too.
I remember only 1 episode with the newsprint dress. I do remember it again in the movie (the second one I think). Maybe they ment no repeats during the series, not including the movies.
She also wears the rhinestone costume jewelry necklace a few times (the necklace she wore for the dinner party at his house when mikail announced that Carrie would go to Paris with him
She wore the newspaper dress in the second movie, again.
I always thought she had a special connection with that baby. As soon as he saw her he started smiling. I just thought they had practiced the scene a lot. He was a cute baby!!!!
I LOVED Carrie, I loved the whole show, every character brought their unique traits to the story, that made it the success that it was.
How many women fell in love with Mr. Big?? So happy none of the other “stars” were picked! Even tho Mr. Big was hot, I felt Aiden was the best bf ever. And John Corbett is really hot!
I’m still glad that Carrie and big got together in the end
Kristen Davis' father is a professor at my alma mater, The University of South Carolina. Kristen was born in Colorado, but was raised and lived almost her entire life in Columbia, SC
Patricia Field did an excellent job with the costumes. 👍🏾
Everything I remember from the show that Samantha WAS and WILL Always be the best and all time favorite Charakter.
They never acknowledged that miranda and Steve's son is named Brady Brady after they got married
Brady Hobbes!!
Yeah, that was utterly bizarre that she would name her child after the surname of her ex-boyfriend.
Brady Hobbes
@The Healing WomanThe normal way of including the name of your child's father is to hyphenate the surname (i.e. Brady-Hobbes). But in light of Samantha's boyfriend being named "Jerry Jerrod" -- it appears the writers had a weird thing for double names. As well as a thing for using last names as first names (i.e. Jerry's stage name being "Smith").
He took Mirandas last name. Makes total sense int the context of that relay he would have both names
I absolutely love this show I could watch it all day
I always thought that Adrian(ment Aiden) was to good for Carrie plus cos he wanted a family but Carrie was to good for Mr Big. They weren't 100% right for each other and in the movies it seemed Carrie had to settle a lot within the relationship. It's kinda hard for me to see Carrie settling down but it was a good move that they didn't make her have a child on the show. Carrie may have liked children but it didn't seem like it was in the cards for the character.
Who's Adrian?
@@Tip_Top ment Aiden.
It was always clear from the start her A were never going to work. It’s not one is better than the other they just wanted different things. Just not right for each other was always the storyline
Outfits weren't repeated but accessories were. Carrie's fur coat, her blue crochet shawl, and a brown hat she has. A necklace worn by Samantha also appears on Carrie's boss at Vogue
Omg tater tot was SJP's baby!? Lol he was the cutest baby ever
9:16 Aaaaand Carrie also talks about how her dad left her and her mom when she was little in another episode
Sex and the City is my favorite TV series! Hello from Baku!
Sex and the city was “The Golden Girls” when they were young and if they had been born in a different generation! Lmao 😂
I miss them so much!
Kim - Samantha was the real start of the show. I only watched the show because of her.
We saw some of their families. Miranda’s sister, Charlotte’s brother and Steve’s mother lol. Also Samantha mentions having a nephew and Carrie mentions her dad abandoned the family, etc.
Loved loved Sex and the City, actually just re-watched the series. Hated Michkeal in the series, I cringed everytime him and Carrie were together
Hailey Tay - I cringed too because I think Michkeal could do much better than dating Carrie.
his name is Mikhail. it's not that hard.
Kim is amazing looking in this show for being 41
Big introduces himself to Carrie as John in the first season, so it wasn’t revealed at the end...
No he didn't
Samantha and Miranda never had a huge fight (confrontation) compare to other characters, that's what I remember after watching sex and the city several times and until now I'm still watching it every weekend
Chriscy Jim Flores They were never that close to each other. Either character only got into big fights with who they had deep feelings for.
I'm still thinking that Carrie and Mr. Big doesn't have to be together, that wasn't love that was an obsession
I was just reminded of how heinous SJP looked in that tux with her hair pulled back. Lol.
Carrie wears the blue kimono a few times, as well as the spiked belt in the first movie.
the actress in House actually seems like Carrie in her series Girlfriends Guide to Divorce.
Yess literally just started watching it
Kudos to Samantha after being picked on to still carrying the show!
The actress' never wore the same thing twice??? I've seen Carrie's kimono robe more than once.
they didn't say "thing", they said "outfit". a robe is not an outfit.
Let me go watch it right now!
I felt that Carrie and Big shouldn’t have ended up together either. It seemed too forced and just.... wrong
I don’t know why people say Carrie and mr big weren’t meant to end up together. He’s the love of her life. She wouldn’t marry anyone else and every guy she dated she compares to him. He keeps coming back to her line a drug. It isn’t the healthiest relationships I’ll admit, but not paring them together (even on and off) seems like a bad idea for the show
I loved Stanford in the show! He was the best gay friend a girl never had💕
Gotta give up to Patricia Fields, that tutu is everything 😇😇😇🌶️🌶️🌶️ Kim Cattrall as Samantha so iconic 😘 that's why I kept watching.
Ivelisse Gonzalez Fields’ taste in EVERYTHING was ... EVERY ... THING!
@@SuiGenerisAbbie Agreed I'm so happy that they changed her outfit that tutu is iconic
Ivelisse Gonzalez Yep!
Anybody else find the missing parents odd, especially after shows like Seinfeld where they were integral? Carrie mentions a father who left her and her mother, and that's it. We never see or hear anything about her Mum. We hear Charlotte once mention her father and 'his friend Paul', and again nothing about her parents is mentioned again. Ditto Samantha. I know some of my friends don't see their folks everyday, or they could be deceased, but not even mentioning them? I know the show is about friendship but I found this peculiar...
Especially Charlotte. Her entire being is lineage as a WASP
My ex-boyfriend introduced me to this show. And my daughter bought me the box set,. love it
Love this show. Samantha Jones WAS the best character.
As a guy, who I thought was the sexiest.... Miranda! That woman drives me bananas! Love her.
Always thought Mr. Big would be perfect as Bruce Wayne....
( why am I watching a SITC rabbit hole? )
Charlotte's brother was on one episode! Alot of videos that have trivia regarding SATC keep forgetting this fact. An entire episode was based on him and Samantha daring. Kind of hard to miss!
They didn't date, they fucked.
Samantha was the best part of this show
Yes they did wear some things more than once! Not many, but certainly some.
Loved Samantha and Miranda the most.
OMG I love Lisa Edelstein. She would have maybe been a better Carrie IMO.
OMG I did not realise that Alexander was played by the DANCER Mikhail Baryshnikov!!!
I remember when Samantha got sick and talked about her mother being destroyed by her father and that THAT was the reason Sam would never get married and have kids. I thought it was brilliant.
I always wondered about the characters family. We only got to see Charlotte's brother and a little bit of Miranda family. I wish they showed more so we could of had a better understanding of the characters background.
0:57 I do not mean this to be rude but it is true. The costume designer picked every outfit that Carry wore from a five dollar clearance box. Her outfits were so questionable and it was so confusing and had no sense of style at all. She was the least stylish character of every person on the cast including Miranda. It amazes me that her supposed fashion is noted because it seems that they pushed something I was nonexistent when it came to her sense of style
I freakin' love that show! All the characters fit perfectly. I hate it about anyone being mean to anybody. Sam (Kim) Do Not be worried about age especially when you're still fabulous honey hush. You're still a fully alive vivacious woman, with normal womanly feelings (uhum) if you know what I mean lol. People make such a big deal out of age no matter how a woman looks and feels it's rediculous. If it ain't broke don't fix it and I watch this show about every six months and I've been watching it since 2008. It Never gets Old! 😘
